I've never heard of this and would probably be offended/annoyed if I received an wedding announcement for a wedding I wasn't invited to. Why send it to someone you didn't invite to the wedding anyway? It's kind of the same logic that you don't invite anyone to the shower you aren't inviting to the wedding.
My FI and I will be sending out wedding announcements after the wedding. We are having a DW and plan to take the best 3 photos and use them to have photo announcements made for everyone.
If you want to send announcements I say send them...I think the photo ones are nice b/c then folks who were not at the wedding get to see how you looked on your big day.
I think I would be confused and maybe a little hurt (like are they just sending this so that I get them a gift even though they don't want me at their wedding). My MIL insisted on doing this for some of her friends and we had a few random guests because people thought it was an invitation.
@bvig...wedding announcements are typically sent after the wedding...your MIL jumped the gun with that one.
I think it makes a bit more sense in the case of a small destination wedding now that I think about it a little more. For a larger wedding, though, I would feel weird about it.

Did anyone send these or are they completely archaic from another time and place? I do know that when they were in vogue that they were considered a nice gesture and expected to be sent from the couple. But since people act so differently toward each other today, I half wonder if people would be more offended if they did receive one. What are your thoughts, if you were to receive an announcement after the wedding rather than an invite to the wedding itself? Depending on how close you felt to them.
